Kate Beckinsale shines in silver gown

When it comes to red carpet glamour, there’s no stopping Kate Beckinsale. The British actress stepped out at the 2016 Critics’ Choice Awards wearing a stunning silver floor-length gown – and it’s safe to say she certainly stole the show.

Turning heads at this year’s ceremony, held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday (January 17th), Kate’s figure-hugging metallic number complemented her hourglass frame to a tee.

The breathtaking gown, designed by Monique Lhuillier, featured sparkling embellishments running through at various angles. Boasting a high neckline, the sleeveless design showed off Kate’s toned and slender arms that there’s no denying she clearly works hard to achieve.

Turning around as she posed for the cameras, Kate revealed the racerback style of her dress, which fit her slender frame perfectly before falling into a trailing train.

To match the glamour of her A-list ensemble, Kate didn’t fall short on the beauty front. The 42-year-old English rose swept her brunette locks into a sleek up-do, while her fringe was parted delicately to frame her face.

Keeping her makeup neutral and elegant, Kate opted for a brown smoky eye, which really made her green eyes pop. She finished her look with a slick of pale pink lipstick and highlighted her cheekbones with a sweep of shimmery bronzing powder.

The Much Ado About Nothing star kept accessories to a minimum, with a lilac, marble-effect box clutch bag that contrasted beautifully against the silver hue of her gown.

And if her dress wasn’t sparkly enough, Ms Beckinsale couldn’t resist an extra touch of glitter by adorning her ears in a pair of jaw-droppingly beautiful dangling diamond earrings.
